More than a speaker, with Alexa built-in, the charcoal Amazon Echo Dot can also become a faithful household assistant. As a speaker, this 5th generation Echo Dot further improves audio quality for clearer vocals and more dynamic sound than previous generations. With Alexa, you can use your voice to ask it general questions, help you in the kitchen, play music, and much more. Beyond asking Alexa for the weather or playing Spotify, the Echo Dot can integrate with other smart home and Amazon products to expand its capabilities.
